Add to Trip Ideas

The Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River is a National Park that abounds with eagles soaring overhead and clear waters running through the river valley. The National Park is full of a wide variety of things to do including, whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing and tubing, along with hiking trails. Route 97 is an awesome place for bikers who like to be challenged by hills but will be rewarded by scenic views of the Delaware River. There are riverside camping and of course fishing for the avid fisherman.

I love adventure in every form. I am climbing the highest peaks in all 50 states (23 so far) and just started conquering the highest 46 peaks in the Adirondacks. I love to travel and love people. Kayaking, canoeing, rafting and tubing are some of my favorite river things to do. My biggest adventures in life are my four amazing children and my husband. Their unconditional love and support allow me to be the best version of myself every day!
